Needing sound as much as I do and having used usb sound systems, I'll add one more suggested precaution to this info. Sometimes alsa makes .lock files in /var/lock and these will block alsactl from working. So check for those and delete as necessary then run alsactl store and alsa will make those lock files for you again but with your desired settings in place.
